Hi Jim,
With the exception of 2 grease joints ( cause I am having trouble replacing
them ), all of the are new. I cost me $8cdn for 10, I figured this was a
cheap investment for the knowledge of easy greasing.
I installed the newly rebuilt clutch slave last night and the last of the
fuel connections to the block. So now I will go around and grease
everything. How do I get out stubbon grease joints without snapping
them????
<RANT>
Who the heck designs a car with this many grease joints!!!!! My 3/4ton 4x4
doesn't even come close to this thing.
<END RANT>
